    Chicks killed upon hatching!

    Thank you for the help! I have isolated the broody hens and removed 3 of them. I separated the 3 hens each with about 5 eggs. So far they are staying where they belong.

    I did mark the eggs so I would know which ones are viable. The problem is I didn't date them so who know when they will hatch! I let more than one go broody because the viable egg count kept going up. Live and learn.

    I agree with you, next time I will separate her quickly. It is upsetting. I have chosen 2 hens and separated them from each other and everyone else.

    Crazy hens! Good advice, I will just kick them all out of the coop except for one of them. Of course, there about 16 fertile eggs in there!

    Thank you for your advice. We have another coop that I have another hen and her two chicks in right now. I tried moving one of the broods there by she abandoned the eggs and ran back to the other coop. I guess I will lock her in!

    Here we go....

    I don't think you can give them too much ACV. Meyer Hatchery told me to give my chicks half ACV and half water! Because of that, I would probably give them more than just a drop, maybe 5.
